Please consider Carbon Xprint as a viable carbon mitigation strategy.
Carbon Xprint is a patent pending process that certifies carbon allowances by making a socially responsible investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. A company or individual offset their carbon footprint by buying a term deposit or a bond from a financial institution or utility. The instrument is priced at the cost of one ton of greenhouse gas. If one ton of GHG is $25 then ten tons would be $250. The purchase certifies that the entity took action for their GHG emissions. The institution pools these deposits and dedicates this pool of money to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. At the end of the term the entity gets their money back plus interest.
Utilities and EGUs can buy Carbon Xprint instruments as allowances to meet EPA limits, they can sell Carbon Xprint bonds to raise capital for renewable energy and efficiency, and they can partner with their customers.
Advantages over Cap and Trade and Renewable Energy Credits.
With Carbon Xprint the price of carbon is stable.
It does not require a complex trading structure.
It allows all of us, utilities, corporations, and individuals, an option to take responsibility for our carbon pollution.
With Carbon Xprint money is invested in creating new renewable energy and energy efficiency. With Cap-and-trade money is invested in existing renewable energy and efficiency.
With Carbon Xprint allowances are sold as a savings/investment and not an expense.
Carbon Xprint’s flexibility and ROI make it easier for companies to stay competitive and achieve imposed limits.
Carbon Xprint addresses two of climate changes biggest needs. The need to take action for our carbon pollution and the need for trillions of dollars in investment to change our energy infrastructure. It rewards action today and gets money to where it is needed to do the most good, creating energy efficiency and renewable energy. It is a simple, flexible, and profitable approach. We can have a strategy that rewards action and promotes growth.
Thank you for considering Carbon Xprint as a viable carbon mitigation strategy.
